Email Acceptable Use Policy

Overview

This Acceptable Use Policy describes prohibited uses and bounce and complaint limitations of the PureClarity Personalised Email service and its Email Service Providers (the “Service”). The examples described in this Policy are not exhaustive.
We may modify this Policy at any time by posting a revised version on the PureClarity Support Center. By using the service or accessing the PureClarity Email System, you agree to the latest version of this Policy. If you violate the Policy we may suspend or terminate your use of the Service.

Prohibited Content

You will not create content within the Service and distribute, publish or facilitate the sending of unsolicited mail or other messages, promotions, advertising, or solicitations (like “spam”), including commercial advertising and informational announcements.

What You Cannot Send

Please don’t use PureClarity to send anything offensive, to promote anything illegal, or to harass anyone. You may not send:
  • Emails offering to sell illegal goods or services
  • Emails that violate CAN-SPAM Laws
  • Offensive or Harmful content
  • Infringing content
These restrictions help maintain the reputation and deliverability of the PureClarity email system for all users.

Complaints and Bounces

We take email complaints and bounces seriously. As the Service is used by multiple organisations high bounce and complaint rates caused by individual applications could ultimately impact the deliverability of the system as a whole.

Automatic Protection Measures

PureClarity attempts to automatically blacklist any email address that results in a bounce or a complaint.

Rate Guidelines

As a guide we aim to keep bounce rates under 5% and complaints under 0.1%.

Your Responsibilities

You must ensure that:
  1. Previously unsubscribed emails that you are aware of have been imported into the PureClarity Email System
  2. Any changes to a user’s email preferences are pushed to PureClarity using the PureClarity API or by regularly importing updates in the PureClarity administration console
